I hear you. I have several older (DOS) comm programs which puke on
faster machines - good ol' PCPLUS for one. That's why my 24/7 packet
circuit (for the local ARES/RACES group) runs on a separate (166
P1) machine - it slows down my Athlon XP 2000 and my P2 machines.

I'm trying to find a DOS emulator for Linux to see if I can run two
circuits at once now...,..

A version of F6FBB is available which runs native on Linux, using the
Linux AX.25 networking support code. There ought to be no problem
running multiple TNCs (either real ones in KISS mode on serial ports,
or soundmodem versions), doing digipeating, etc. on Linux.

I have a completely legal copy with a
manual that is surplus to me. I have two
copies actually, one for me
and one for you, for any reasonable offer.

Thanks for the offer, Wes. I'll file it for 'maybe later'. Right now I
have the Antac Designer SV downloaded and it looks like a clone of the
ARRL Designer, only 10 years newer.

Phil,

Don't know if it will help, but how about this:
http://www.dosemu.org/
I have no idea if it will help or not; I'm thinking of putting Linux in one
of the boxes. A Google search of 'DOS emulators for Linux' yielded a ton of
hits, but you've likely already researched them.

The download is *very* large. For folks on a dial-up connection, it is
almost out the question. Is is available on a CD somewhere??
Thanks.

My experience is different. Serenade is much more powerful,
however, I find the learning curve much steeper.

They all have the same roots however, and Serenade can use
circuit files (net lists) generated in ARD.



Thanks for the correction, Wes. I was going on second hand information.

I have to upgrade my computer and then I will be able to run Serenade.....
